The Queen, the British sovereign,
is no partizan. She is neither Lib
eral nor Conservative, but is on
equally friendly terms with each.
Personally and privately she may he
either. She is no politician, and
keeps unspotted from elections. Her
great function is to reign, never to
,ule. She acts in her official capa-
city, by and according to the adj
vice of her Ministers. The respon-
sibility is theirs; none whatever at
taches to her; and they are directly
answerable to the people. She is
not, as has been asserted by some,
above the Law; but is as amenable
thereto as her poorest subject.
The Queen of England is the most
popular Gin the common acceptation
of the word) and the most beloved
woman in the realm, partly because
she is u truly good woman, and
partly because she never forgets
that her duty is to reign and not to
rule. The British sovereign would
soon destroy her popularity and en-
danger her throne by attempting to
rule. The British people are
supreme and they are loyal; but
their loyalty will cease the moment
their supremacy is encroached upon
by any crowned head, whether
queen or king. Rest assured, nc
man or woman of common sense
whoever mounts the throne of Great
Britain will ever try it on. The
past has taught valuable lessons
and none but fool would ever at
tempt TO regain the power of des'
potisms gone by.
The English people are a free
self-governing people. The Irish
by the aid of their English brethren
will soon be placed on the sam'
footing. Every part of the vas
empire will, ere long, acquire com
mon privileges. The united empir
may have long line of reignin.
sovereigns, but rulimy sovereign i
will never accept.
The foregoing points in the Brit
ish method of constitutional govern
ment have been here briefly outlined
because many of our readers, evel
among American citizens and Brit
ish subjects, seem to be sadly at Sc;
respecting these features of Englisl
Constitutional Government.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

GLOW not to do it," seems to be
the policy of the Minister of the
Interior with reference to repairing
the roads, and putting them in
passable condition. The legislature
has voted the money necessary, and
the money for the purpose lies some
where-useless so far as the public
good goes. But the question is, has
that money been expended in any
other way? The Kaimiloa has been
bought, fitted out with guns and
gold lace, and at last despatched on
doubtful mission. On the prin-
ciple of ''No use crying over split
milk" it is probably useless to make
any further complaints in that direc-
ton at the present time.
Let us turn to the fire district for
q moment, and we find that property
holders are losing money daily, with
no hope of redress, largely owing to
the Government not having carried
out their part of the contract. For
instance, man has some property
ON King street near the bridge. Be-
fore erecting buildings, he had TO
comply with certain rules and regu-
lations in regard to grading, cleva-
ton etc., with the distinct under
standing that on the completion of
his tenements the road would be
graded to suit them. Finding this was
not done at once, he builds an eleva-
ted wooden sidewalk, with steps at
either end leading up to the level of
his floor. A year or more has passed
and nothing has been done by the
authorities to the road, consequently
his shops remain untenanted. No
body cares, to climb up ten-foot
ladder to make purchase, when the
same can be done Oh the road level.
The property owner is not only
minus his rent, but he has to pay
interest on money burrowed to put
up the buildings. He is an injured
man of the worst kind, and mostly
owing to the ineillciency Of the Exc
cutive.
Notwithstanding the surveys made
Immediately after the fire, and the

matter. The Ministers are simply

any thought of the public wish or
welfare. They hold Office during
his pleasure, and it is only by sub

ENCLAND'S CONSTITUTION AND
QUEEN.

The Constitutional Monarchical
Government of Great Britain is gen.
orally conceded to be the freest and
most popular monarchical govern
ment extant, for which reason it is
usually pointed to as an example for
others to initiate. 1t is not pre-
tended that the British form of gov
ernment is faultless, nor contended
that wisdom dictates its adoption by
any other nation in its entirety.
Taken as whole, it is ahead OF
every other government OF the same
class. 1t is, without any exception
whatever, the most popular govern
ment known, in the sense of being
the most fully and directly under
the control of the people. In this
the Englishman has the advantage
of his American cousin. The Brit
ish people have the power, conferred
by their constitution, to unseat, by
the vote of their representatives,
the Queens Cabinet, any day while
the Parliament is in session, and
they can upset cabinet after cabi-
net in the same way, without limit,
if so inclined.
The nominal head of the govern
ment, who is only figurehead and
nothing more, is the Queen. The
real, active, responsible head is the
Prime Minister. The nominal head
is hereditary. BY an antiquated
form of speech still retained, but
which all enlightened Englishmen OF
the present day simply regard as a
meaningless form, she is said to be
sovereign "by the grace of Gods"
virtually she is so by the will and
favor of the people. The real head,
the Prime Minister, is nominally ap-
pointed by the Queen, but really by
the people, through their delegates
in Parliament assembled, and he
holds Office during their pleasure ;
inasmuch as they have the power
aforesaid to reject without notice
any Prime Minister and Cabinet
that may be appointed.
The Queens personal likes and
dislikes play no part in the appoint
ment. Take an illustration: Lore
BeacOnsteld, the Conservative leader
and Prime Minister, was the Queen S
favorite whom she delighted to
honor. On an appeal to the people,
Beaconsfeld was rejected, and his
sovereign was reluctantly compelled
to part company with her personal
choice. w. E. Gladstone, the leader
of the Liberals, whom the Queen SC
strongly disliked that she declined
to invite the old gentleman to hel
daughters wedding, was chosen by
the people. Her Gracious Majesty
was unwillingly compelled to accept
Gladstone as her Prime Minister, in
place Of her rejected favorite.

HAWAIrS CONSTITUTION AND KING.

Hawaii has constitutional form
of government. That is, in the
sense of possessing written consti-
tuition, which is the fundamental law
of the land, and in accordance with
which the Government is supposed
to be conducted. The document
itself is very loosely drawn, and
rather ambiguously worded. 1t is
one of those Acts through which n
coach-and-six can be safely driven
by careless driver. Its Enbiguity
allows ample scope for Interpretation
to suit the taste. Unlike the un-
written English constitution, which
is simply collection of precedents
and usages, in which the recent
always take precedence of the more
remote, it is not held in pre-eminent
veneration by the Government. The
sovereign's rights are defined with
moderate clearness, and his special
privileges pretty well protected. His
duties are rather vague. On one
especial point the peoples side is
set forth with surprising distinctness
they may think what they please,
and say or write considerable pro-
portion of the same. The sovereign
is n greater autocrat and the people
a smaller power than in the English
system.
Practically and in fact, the King
is the controlling head of the Gov
ernment. He rules, and is not con-
tent with merely reigning. He is
therefore the responsible head of the
Government, a fact which the Bull
LETIN is very reluctantly forced to
admit, preferring rather, as it has
invariably done under the present
cditorship, to place all responsibility
on Cabinet Ministers.
In Hawaii the real head of the
Government, which is the sovereign,
is not exactly hereditary. The
sovereign has the right, subject to
certain specified conditions, to ap-
point his successor. Failing to
exercise the privilege, the legislative
body makes the appointment, a
majority vote being decisive. The
present sovereign was thus elected
by the Legislature, the major por-
ton of which represents the people.
So that if there is any "Grace of
God" in this arrangement, it was
exercised by the legislators, which,
considering the rather ungodly pro-
clivities of some of those gentlemen
of that time, is a somewhat doubtful
circumstance. The "grace of the
people" having placed the king on
the throne, it was reasonable to ex-
pect that he would endeavor to
satisfy their wish as far rs possible.
The Prime Minister and all the
other ministers are appointed by the

A Great Game Preserve.

The Pittsburg Dispatch says the greatest game
preserve in the world will be held by the Cheat
Mountain Sportsman Club, the membership Of
which is limited to eighty-ive, of whom seventy
five prominent sporting men of Pittsburg. Com
pared with il Tuxedo Park is mere bagatelle.
The preserve lies in the heart of the widest region
in the mountains of West Virginia. 1t covers an
of sixty miles, and within its limits there is
not settlement. Bear, deer, wild turkey and
other game abound, while the cool mountain
streams are filed with the speckled beauties that
make the heart of the angler leap with joy. The
tract of land embraces $4,000 acres, and will be
increased by the addition of 10000 acres. 1t is
fifty miles from the railroad, but is reached by a
good macadamized road. None but the most in
trepid hunters have traversed its solitary wilds,
while only the merry moonshiner has resided with
in its confines. The bear and deer have had full
swing, and the hardy hunters will find great sport
during the hunting season in peppering buckshot
into this noble game, while there are just enough
rattesnakes lettering the hills to add the spice
of danger to the fun. During the year the pre-
serve will be plentifully stocked with English
pheasants imported from the old country, and wild
boars will also be turned loose there. A commo-
dious clubhouse will be erected this summer, and
experienced game keepers will be placed in charge
whose duty it will be not only to protect the prop
erty, but the game, by keeping an eye on poachers

The Vestibule Railroad Train.

The much talked of "vestibuled train," George
Pullman's latest conception, is attracting much
favorable attention. The platform of each car is
smaller than that of the ordinary car and it is
covered with structure that looks like big open
sentinel's box. When two cars are brought to-
gether these two boxes meet, and vestibule is
formed, so that instead of walking, or rather
diving, across a bounding, swaying platform, one
crosses from one car to another as easily as from
one room to another through passageway. The
boxes consist of broad thick frames of steel, like
huge inverted ox-bows, which are supported by
strong, elastic pressure, derived from springs.
These springs bear against the top and sides Of
the steel frame, well as against the solid timbers
composing the platforms of the cars and the upper
part of the superstructure. When two cars are
brought together the springs cause the frames of
the vestibule to stick together firmly, and so no
dirt or wind gets in. In going around curves
vulcauized rubber placed in the frames admits of
the necessary bending. The vestibule also, to a
great extent, prevents oscillation, and Mr.. Pull
man, on the strength of this, has opened bar
ber's shop in the composite car, where young
and tender man had his beard shaved without a
particle of harm being done, and the train was
going at the rate of fifty miles an hour, too. This
is the first barber shop on a train.

What it oosts to Raise Crops. sc.

A thrifty Maine farmer Of Penobscot county
figures the cost of raising his wheat at less than
forty cents per bushel. For the past fourteen
years his hay has cost him seven dollars per ton.
His potatoes have cost, according to the season,
eighteen to forty-four cents per bushel. The
profits from sales were not given, but Mr.. Gilbert,
in the Maine Farmer, shows that 5000 worth of
wheat sold from the farm removes from the land
$57 worth of plant food, while 5000 horse takes
away but seven dollars worth Of fertilizing ma
teria, and 5000 worth Of butter exhausts the farm
of only fifty cents worth of plant food. These
are strong arguments in favor of stock -husbandry
and of selling animals only when they are in good
condition. The poor OK carries off as much bone
as the fat one, while he doesn't bring in near the
amount of cash.
